I followed this to a T

3. Download the latest mysql. (I am using 3.23.51)
install mysql and set your password. for the purpose of this walkthrough
I will use the following.
username: test
password: test


4.(NOTE: If you are repeating this step be sure to drop your old
eq database from mysql before continuing,if not keep going!)

Next go to the mysql\bin directory and run mysqladmin.exe
Once inside go to the database tab.
Right click on your hostname and select create database.
call the database eq
Now go back to the environment tab and select Hideme.
Next copy the db.sql to the mysql\bin directory
then run the mysql.exe from mysql\bin directory
In mysql type in:
use eq;
source db.sql;

DO NOT CLOSE THE DOS WINDOW UNTIL IT IS DONE SCROLLING AND YOU ARE
BACK AT A PROMPT.


5.Next modify your files found in the following locations
(Remember these files are modified assuming what I have covered in the above
steps):

In the eqemu directory modify:

boot5zones.bat


@echo off
start zoneNT . localhost 7995 localhost -- ZoneNT was changed to zone (using XP)
start zoneNT . localhost 7996 localhost
start zoneNT . localhost 7997 localhost
start zoneNT . localhost 7998 localhost
start zoneNT . localhost 7999 localhost
exit
cls



db.ini


[Database]
host=localhost
user=test
password=test
database=eq


Loginserver.ini


[LoginServer]
loginserver=localhost
loginserver2=localhost
loginport=5999
loginport2=5999
worldname=Evertest
locked=false
account=
password=
worldaddress=localhost

[LoginConfig]
ServerMode=Standalone
ServerPort=5999
UplinkAddress=
UplinkPort=
UplinkAccount=
UplinkPassword=

In the everquest directory modify:

eqhost.txt


[Registration Servers]
{
"localhost:5999"
}
[Login Servers]
{
"localhost:5999"
}


datarate.txt


10.0



6.go to the start button and select run and type in cmd
this will open to the DOS prompt.
change directory to your eqemu directory(ex: cd eqemu)
This is the location of the world.exe file.
Type in the following:
world.exe flag eqemu 200


7.When all this is complete launch the following programs in this order:
In the eqemu directory run:
minilogin.exe
world.exe
boot5zones.bat

In the everquest directory:
eqgame.exe patchme


At this point you should be able to login with the
following GM account:
username:eqemu
password:eqemu
